Macro changing region names
Hi,
I have a workbook with multiple tabs. All tabs have a defined names region. For example if a tab is named 401 there is a name in the tab for 401 = A1:P400. I would like to change the region selection all at once so it will change to 401= A1:Z400. I would like to use a macro to change regions for all the tabs rather doing this manually one by one. Your help is truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance Nikki by one. |

Macro changing region names
No need for a macro, this is relatively easy to change.
First, go to Insert - Name - Paste. Choose to "Paste List". Second, select the cells containing the formulas, and do a find & replace to change P400 to Z400. Finally, select the group of cells with names and formulas, and goto Insert - Name - Create. Define Name labels as left column. Replace old name definitions. If this is something that you would need to do often, you could record this as a macro, I suppose. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Nikki" wrote: Hi, I have a workbook with multiple tabs.

Macro changing region names
Nikki,
Try this macro Sub Resize_Ranges() For x = 1 To Worksheets.Count Set Rng = Range(Sheets(x).Name) Rng.Resize(Rng.Rows.Count, 26).Name = Sheets(x).Name Next End Sub -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
